Default How do I set the keyboard from uk to the united states?

I have a united kingdom hp xp disc for hp computer. it say me from having to enter the serial for hp computers. however it have uk time and keyboard layout. I know how to fix time and other stuff through regional and language options, but I need to know how to change the keyboard layout. when you hit the @ button for email another sign comes up.

I fix this issue once, but I don't remember what I did

In XP it is under the Control Panel in the Date, Time & Regional Settings area. P that should allow you to change it back. In Vista it is under the Regional or Keyboard settings. I know it is close to the same area as it is in XP.
